Rudy Ray Moore influenced generations of rappers and comedians - and he got his start in Cleveland.Getty Images

The good news is, there are well more than 100 celebrities who came from Cleveland. The bad news is, this means we had to leave some off of our list of the top 100 Cleveland arts and entertainment celebrities -- rolled out on cleveland.com last week and published in The Plain Dealer Sunday. But the better news is, we're adding more online.

Here are a few more you said we missed, some of which had been up for consideration for the original 100. Know of even more? We're still looking for people who earned a national reputation in arts and entertainment who either hail from Northeast Ohio or could claim a strong connection to the area. Add your suggestions in the comments section below:

Rudy Ray Moore (1927 - 2008): On the stage and screen, Rudy Ray Moore was "Dolemite" -- the Original Gangsta, the Godfather of Rap and the King of Comedy. But the comedian/rapper/actor/film producer who was born in Arkansas and got his start in entertainment in the 1950s while living in Cleveland, influenced everyone from Quentin Tarantino to Snoop Dogg, the Beastie Boys and Easy E. "I lived [in Cleveland] in the 1950s, working as a waiter and bus boy," said Moore in an interview with The Plain Dealer in 2000. "I met a woman, Estella Caldonia Young, who taught me the blues, the rhymes, everything." Moore toiled in obscurity in Los Angeles until his 1970 record, "Eat Out More Often," became a cult hit and inspired him to make movies. By the mid-1970s, do-it-yourself classics "Dolemite" and "The Human Tornado" turned him into one of the biggest stars or the blaxploitation genre. In his final days, he moved back to Akron to be near family.

LaWanda Page (1920 – 2002): Cleveland born Page was best known for her role as cranky Bible-thumping Aunt Esther on "Sanford and Son" in the1970s. But before that role on the hit show brought her national fame, she was known as "the Bronze Goddess of Fire," a popular dancer, chorus girl and comedian on the Chitlin Circuit. Her stand-up act later crossed into the mainstream, and she recorded several albums, including the gold-selling "Watch It, Sucka!" Page also was a frequent guest on Dean Martin Roasts.

Cleveland-native Tommy LiPuma is one of the behind-the-scenes giants of American popular music.Lisa DeJong, The Plain Dealer

Tommy LiPuma (1936 -- ): One of the behind-the-scenes giants of American popular music, LiPuma is a Grammy Award-winning producer and record-company executive who has worked with the likes of Miles Davis, Barbra Streisand and Paul McCartney. Born to Italian immigrants in Cleveland, LiPuma owned and operated a barber shop in town before launching his musical career. He moved to Los Angeles in 1962, and worked for a variety of record companies -- A&M, Warner Bros., Elektra -- before taking the helm of jazz juggernaut Verve Records in 1998. As producer, LiPuma has made dozens of gold, platinum or multiplatinum records. He has won three Grammys: record of the year in 1976 for George Benson's smash "This Masquerade," album of the year in 1991 for Natalie Cole's "Unforgettable" and best jazz vocal album in 2002 for Diana Krall's "Live in Paris." More recently, he produced McCartney's latest release, "Kisses on the Bottom," on which the ex-Beatle puts his stamp on old-time standards. In 2012, he donated $3 million to the Cuyahoga Community College Foundation, the largest private gift in Tri-C's history. The college honored LiPuma's gift by naming the Center for Creative Arts after him.

Tim "Ripper" Owens (1967- ): Akron native Owens lived the rock'n' roll dream – and then some. In 1996, the lead singer of Judas Priest tribute band was picked by the group to replace founding frontman Rob Halford. Owens toured the world and recorded two albums with the group before he was replaced by a returning Halford in 2003. His unique rise to fame also inspired the movie "Rock Star." Today Owens plays with several metal bands and owns an Akron bar.
